Hey, thanks for the quick reply Aaron,
Yeah, I've gotten communication going from the content script back
to the main extension, I am just looking for a way to go the reverse
direction. I know I could inject an absolutely positioned button
directly into the web page I am trying to modify in the end anyways,
so it wouldn't be a huge deal either way, I was just hoping I could
use what is set up with the extension toolstrip to be able to do this.
And to answer your question, the reason I thought that tab MIGHT have
a postMessage is because of some old docs I had saved that had what
Vasanth wrote - the
'extension.currentTab.postMessage("autolink");'
Again, keep up the great work with this and thanks again!
